Andrew Stanton and Pixar confirm John Carter of Mars
Andrew Stanton personally confirmed for me and others attending today’s roundtable discussion in Toronto that he is currently writing the film version of Edgar Rice Burroughs’ John Carter of Mars for Pixar.
The disclosure came at the end of the short, but extremely enjoyable, discussion (excerpts of which will be published here soon), when a writer from Suite101.com asked about Stanton’s next project, to which Stanton mentioned (not too loudly) ‘John Carter of Mars’.
Doubting what I’m hearing, I interject, “What is that?” “John Carter of Mars, Stanton replies.” “You’re confirming John Carter? Are you serious?” At this point, I turn my tape recorder back on, “…say that on tape!”, I tell him. Stanton: “I am writing John Carter of Mars right now.”
